I'd rather miss a few but have time to quickly look at my entire watchlist for setups occurring at 10:00am. Alsom, it takes my software and data feed (QuoteTraker with iQFEED) several minutes to backfill my entire watchlist (usually 80-100 stocks), and I find that I get really flustered if I'm not done scanning by 9:50'ish!<BR/><BR/>Here's how I typically scan for gaps:<BR/><BR/>9:30 - 9:49 --> Interactive Brokers built in scanner for % Gainers & % Losers (manually enter into watchlist)<BR/>9:50 --> Trade-Ideas for gaps (export to Excel)<BR/>9:52 --> Prophet.net (free edition) for gaps (copy and paste to watchlist)<BR/><BR/>I know most people scan until 10:30am+, but most of the time, this gives me more than I can handle.estocasticahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15221748411672103078noreply@blogger.com
